It's pretty juvenile if you ask me. I'm no fan of Ignatieff but this site is definetly geared towards misleading the stupid.

Great website for those of you who are Michael Ignatieff fans. Give it a look if you have time. ;)

Authorized by the Registered Agent for the Conservative Party of Canada.

For the childlike right wing, extremist, radical Conservatives.

Misleading how? Every point in it is a sourced fact. Most of it is Iggy's own words.

Taken completely out of context. If what Ignatieff has said somehow disqualifies him from being PM, then what Harper has said in the past certainly should....firewalls and welfare states for everyone.

The Conservatives are brutal when it comes to marketing. This just gives Ignatieff another opportunity to communicate his 'we need to do politics differently' message - a message to which Canadians can easily relate. The more the Conservatives keep on with this lame campaign, the better it is for him.

I started to look, then realized that every visit to that stupid site tells search engines to list it closer to the top and I don't want to contribute one click to keeping Harper around.

Also known as the CPC base. Silly.

The whole, "He's just in it for himself." and "Just visiting" stuff is stupid rhetoric meant to smear him before people even consider his policies.

Thus far, I've decided his policies are mostly bad but whether or not he taught at more highly regarded universities OUTSIDE of Canada for most of his life have little to do with my decision.

Back by popular demand....

From "Living Fearlessly in a Fearless World" Ignatieff Commencement Address to Whitman College (USA), 2004:

"There is only one thing
we
can do about this:
live the way we are supposed to live, as our Constitution commands us to
, with dignity and respect for all.
Being an American is not easy. It is hard. We are required to keep some serious promises
. We are judged by a high standard, one we crafted for ourselves in the founding documents of the republic, the ones that talk about the equality of all people, the ones that tell us that government is of the people, by the people and for the people. We need to live by this, at home and abroad,
and it is just about the only thing we can do to face the hatred of those who want to destroy us. Our best defense
is to stay true to who we are. Our best defense is to refuse to live in fear, of them, of ourselves, of anyone."

"
We are living a moment of truth in Iraq
, a moment in which
we have to look fair and square at disagreeable realities, in which we have to look at ourselves.
The pictures from Abu Ghraib prison are a kind of mirror in which we have to look at ourselves and ask: what kind of people did this? How did this become possible? Could I have done a thing like this to those people?"

"We do need to ask ourselves, as a society, as a free people, how we came to this pass. Those soldiers were acting in the name of America, and they disgraced its name. We have to ask who authorized them to do so. Who should take responsibility here?
We need answers to these questions
, and we need to take responsibility
as citizens that we get answers,
and that accountability is established, right up the chain of command if need be,
so that we do not go here again as a country."

"
Some voices are calling on America to circle the wagons. Some are even saying that our enemies do worse, so we should respond in kind.
The problem here is that this is America. This is a constitutional republic based on the rule of law and equal respect for all persons.
We can’t pretend that we can bend the rules any which way. We made the rules for ourselves. We have to live by them."

Economics trumps Virtue.

There you go again, personalizing. Happens all the time.

That's true. It is just me who thought you knew something about popular demand.

Don't worry, Iggy can teach you.

I know....he speaks American very well (and often). Let's go to Iraq! :lol:

Thank you...it's great to be number one. No wonder Ignatieff cloaks himself as a 'merkin.

It's great to support the world's biggest terrorist, eh? Your buddy Bush and his evil gang aren't welcome in most of the world anymore. Way to be number one!

Bush was welcome in Calgary, he is very much welcome in Africa, not to mention many other nations in the world, don't let your hate blind you.

This article (link) details terrorism (excerpts below), not your juvenile name-calling:

They bought cellphones, the authorities said; they bought a camera in a Wal-Mart to take photographs of the synagogues in New York City that they wanted to blow up. When their attempt to buy guns in Newburgh, N.Y., fell through — their gun dealer told them she had sold out — they drove downstate, buying a $700 pistol from a Bloods gang leader in Brooklyn.

After months of planning, the authorities allege, the men had their first real scare this month, driving to Stamford, Conn., to pick up a surface-to-air missile that was waiting for them in a warehouse. One of the men in the car believed they were being followed by law enforcement, so they returned to Newburgh, drove around until they were satisfied they were in the clear, then went back to Stamford for their missile and bombs.

They brought them back to Newburgh, locked them in a storage container, and celebrated, shouting, “Allah akbar!”

These details as told by the authorities describe a homegrown terror plot to bomb two synagogues in the Bronx and shoot down a military aircraft in Newburgh. The outlines of the plan were fleshed out on Thursday, in court hearings, documents and interviews, as were bits and pieces of the checkered life stories of the four men charged in the plot.

  • Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location?
  • The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).

That he was welcomed in Calgary shouldn't be surprising. I think you'd find the welcome less inspiring elsewhere.

Yeah, all those protestors that welcomed Bush to Calgary were sure friendly....don't get me wrong, I don't hate the man, I just dislike the president.
